This Championship has multiple online Heats, with the top three in each of those Tournaments then progressing to the live final at EGX London on Saturday 27th September. It's worth remembering that those that qualify will receive travel and accommodation expenses for the event, so even if you weren't planning to go to EGX this could be your ticket in.

The first heat brought us our first three finalists, Voodoo, Stacy1199 and HD Zap, so now it's time for the second round. Remember, you're allowed to enter all four heats to attempt qualification — with the exception of the first heat's winners — as long as you're a UK Wii U owner.

The key details for this next event are below.

There will be multiple prizes on offer at the EGX finale, though the grand prize is worth racing for — the winner receives a boxed copy of every new game published by Nintendo for Wii U which is released in the calendar year following 27th September, £100 of Nintendo eShop credit and more.
